WASHINGTON Jan. IS, 1SS7-HOn. L
L. Lewis, Opelousas, La, | offered anC
carried amendment desired by your let
ter, in full protection of all settlers ar
to building of road, and applied Blan.
chard and Robertson agreement after
completion of road. r. L. GIBSON.
! On November 9th last, we published a
memorial by the settlers Cd these rail
road lands, drawn up by Mr.. Lewis
addressed to the u. S. Senate, protest
ing against the confirmation of Their
homesteads to the railroads AS we
said then all these lands ought to be
forfeited, and opened to the people for
homesteads, because the railroad did
not comply with the law; but there
was neither sense nor justice in robbing
lot of poor settlers Of their rights and
labor for the benefit OF delinquent
railroad corporation. The above tele-
| gram brings the welcome intelligence
that the rights of the settlers have
been saved. The bill that had passed
| the House, was really in the interest of
the railroad because it declared for
teited only such lands as the railroad
laid no claim to, and confirmed to the
railroad all the lands claimed by it.
The passage of this amendment in the
Senate, which no doubt will be concur
red in by the House, protects the set
tiers against the railroad. They can
now secure their homestrads for about
S25; while under the Blanchard and
Robertson agreement they would have
had to pay the railroad 50 per acre, on
$500, besides the contingent expenses,
and as the railroad property is, we be-
lieve, all mortgaged, the lands of these
settlers, though they had paid the rail
road for them, would remain subject to
the mortgage creditors of the railroad
AS we have already said, all these So
called railroad lands ought to be for
feited and opened to public entry for
homesteads; but the railroads with
their money seem to have more ipflu-
ence in the halls of Congress than the
scattered moneyless people. This
which protects the settlers
on the lands, is mere crumb thrown
to the multitude. 1t is great boon to
them, which they would not have OBJ
.ained except for the persistent efforts

TO SETTLERS ON RAILROAD
LANDS.

Please read carefully the dispatch
sent me by Senator Gibson and the
amendment offered, by him at my re-
quest and suggestion, to the bill pend
ing in the Senate, both of which you
will find in another column of this
paper.
1t was a bill originating in the House
which compelled all settlers to pay
$500 an acre for his land and the
amendment, which was carried in the
Senate, excerpts their lands from the
grant and gives it to the settler under
the Homestead law.
1t needs only to be concurred in by
the House and signed by the President
to become the law.
have no doubt the House will con-
cur and that, within two months at
most. every settler who went upon his
land before the eth day of October 1881
and who now occupies it, will be al
lowed to homestead his land and get Il
good title from the Government. Those
who settled since that time will have
the right to buy at $500 per acre.
1t gives me great pleasure to inform
you of the bright prospect You now
have of escaping from the unjust de-
mands of the railroad and being secure
in your homes.
The struggle has been long and severe
but the battle is over and you are the
winners.
Accept the congratulations of your
friend, T.. L. LEWIS.

parish. The latter fought the Back
bone land grant when he was in Con-
gress, and probably owed his defeat for
the nomination for a second term on
that account; and since that time he
has worked strenuously to have the
settlers protected. The memorial which
he drew up and had signed by the set
tiers, protesting against the so-called
forfeiture bill which had passed the
House, no doubt secured the easy pas
sage of Mr.. Gibson's amendment in the
Senate. These settlers are under an
everlasting debt of gratitude to Mr..
Lewis.
The following is Senator Gibson's
amendment:
That the title of the United States
and of the original grantee to the lands
granted by said act of Congress of
March 3, 1871, to said grantee. the New
Orleans, Baton Rouge and Nickshurg
Railroad Company, not herein declared
forfeited, is reIinquished, granted, con-
veyed and confirmed to New Orleans
Pacific Railroad Company as the as
signee of the New Orleans, Baton

pany, said lands to be cited in accord
ance with the map filed by said New
Orleans Pacific Railroad Company in
the Department OF the Interior Oct -,
1881, and Nov. II, 1882, which Indicate
the definite location of said road pro-
vided, that all said lands, etc, occupied
by actual settlers at the date of the
definite location of said road, and still
remaining in their possession or in pos
session of their heirs or assigns, shall
be held aud deemed excepted from said

TIE COST OF TAX NOTICES.


We had an item under this caption
last Saturday, which referred to the
notices which the tax collector sends to
tax payers on movable property, after
the expiration of month from the time
the rolls were filed. notifying them
| that they became delinquent after the
expiration of said month. These are
the notices for which the tax collector
is allowed five cents each aud no
mileage.
Before the tax collector takes pos
session of movable property in order to
sell it for taxes, according to section AZ
of the revenue law, he is required to
give three days notice OF seizure.
which notice of seizure shall be made
in the same manner as notices of seiz-
ure under writs of teri .tdcias. The
section OF the law requiring these
notices of seizures to be given, does not
mention what the tax collector shall
charge for giving them.
After the first day of January of each
year, taxes on immovable property
become delinquent, and the collector is
required to serve on or mail to the
delinquents notices that unless the
same are paid within twenty days, the
property will be sold. For these no.
tees the tax collector "shall be emit
tied to collect from said tax payer ten
cents as costs; no mileage to be charged
for the service of said notice."
There seems to be no other notice to
be given to delinquent tax payers on
immovable property, except to non
residents, before sale. There are there
fore two notices that may be given to
delinquent tax payers on movable
property the first, notifying them of
their delinquency, and that their prop
erty will be seized and sold to pay their
taxes-for these only five cents can be
charged, and no mileage; the second,
when the tax collector or sheriff pro-
ceeds, under the authority of section A.
of the revenue law, to take movable
property into his possession, he is re-
quired to give three days notice before
seizure, and the notice to be served as a
notice of seizure under writ of teri
tacias-no charge is fixed for this notice
but it is reasonable that the charge
should be the same as the charge for
similar notice under a fl. ia.
In regard to delinquents for immova-
BILE property, only one notice seems to
be necessary. except a special one for
residents, and the charge for the
former is fixed at ten cents and no
mileage.
Section SO says: For the seizures,
sales, and tax deeds made by each tax
collector OF sheriff, he shall be allowed
the same costs which are allowed by
law to sheriffs for mileage, seizures,
sales, and sheriff7s deeds in judicial
prorided that he shall not
be allowed to charge for any service
not actually rendered, for any SEIZURE
not actually made, nor for any mileage
not actually travelled.
